Objective: To understand the perspectives of primary care clinicians and health system leaders on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to derive information about patients' social determinants of health.
Design: Qualitative study.
Setting: Ontario, Canada.
Purpose: Information about social determinants of health (SDOH) is essential for primary care clinicians in the delivery of equitable, comprehensive care, as well as for program planning and resource allocation. SDOH are rarely captured consistently in clinical settings, however. Artificial intelligence (AI) could potentially fill these data gaps, but it needs to be designed collaboratively and thoughtfully.

The Toronto Cognitive Assessment (TorCA) was developed to achieve these goals.
Methods: We obtained normative data on the TorCA (n = 303), determined test reliability, developed an iPad version, and validated the TorCA against neuropsychological assessment for detecting amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) (n = 50/57, aMCI/normal cognition).
